I have a simple NSArrayController hooked up to one of my coreData models. I can easily show all the items in a NSTableView without problem, however, if I try to bind a NSTableColumn containing a NSPopUpButtonCell to the arrangedObjects on the same controller, I get a nasty exception thrown at me. (If I bind to a NSPopupButton that is outside the table, however, everything seems to work correctly)

Why is this the case? How come you can’t reuse the array controller in multiple places?

    How come you can’t reuse the array controller in multiple places?

    That’s not what the error message says. What the error message says is that you tried to bind an array property to a property whose value is not an array:

    Meaning “I tried to treat this as an array (send it count), but it wasn’t an array (and so didn’t respond to count), and that’s a problem”.

    You’ve already identified the problem binding, so now you simply need to fix it. For more specific advice, you’ll need to edit your question to include at least one screenshot of the binding in question, showing what object is it on, which binding is it, what object did you bind to, what controller key did you set, and what model key path did you set.
